# Same Portland Lunch 2.0 building, new Portland Lunch 2.0 host, also bacon

Sad that you missed seeing the [eROI](http://eroi.com "eROI") space at the [last Portland Lunch 2.0](http://siliconflorist.com/2008/04/07/portland-lunch-20-five-reasons-to-attend/ "eROI host Portland Lunch 2.0")? Well, wipe away those tears, gentle reader. We can get you close.

The latest [Portland Lunch 2.0 date and location have been announced](http://www.lunch20.com/2008/05/05/vidoop-to-host-portland-lunch-20/ "Vidoop to host Portland Lunch 2.0"). And, as luck would have it, it’s in the same exact spot, only one floor down.

[Vidoop](http://vidoop.com "Vidoop"), one of the ever-burgeoning residents of the eROI-owned space in Old Town, has volunteered to host the next Portland Lunch 2.0, to be held May 28. Those interested in attending can [RSVP via Upcoming](http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/587873 "Portland Lunch 2.0 on Upcoming").

This lunch marks a celebration of sorts for the Vidoop team, in a Welcome Wagon sort of way:

> From what I hear, this will be a cool time for Vidoop. Apparently, their entire Tulsa office is transplanting itself to Portland this month, in an epic roadtrip. So, this will be a great chance to welcome them to Portland and give them a taste of how we do Lunch 2.0 here.

No word on the amount of bacon to be had. (Knowing the hosts, I’m assuming this is not an “if” question, but rather a “how much” question.) But, rumor has it that [Ford’s on Fifth](http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=%22Ford's+on+Fifth%22+portland+&ie=UTF8&ll=45.538549,-122.671623&spn=0.034809,0.070381&z=14&iwloc=A&iwd=1&cid=45523946,-122675465,82188485231330796 "Ford's on Fifth") may be tapped to cater the event.

[Jake Kuramoto](http://twitter.com/jkuramot "Jake Kuramoto on Twitter"), the energy behind Portland’s version of Lunch 2.0, has said he’s interested in squeezing a few more Portland Lunch 2.0 gatherings into the summer months. So, if you’re interested in hosting, [please ping Jake on Twitter](http://twitter.com/jkuramot "Jake Kuramoto") or feel free to comment below.

Future Portland Lunch 2.0 hosts include [Wieden + Kennedy](http://wk.com "Wieden + Kennedy") and maybe, just maybe, yours truly. But first, let’s all head on over to see [Vidoop’s new digs](http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=117+NW+5th+Ave,+Portland,+OR+97209,+USA&ie=UTF8&ll=45.524224,-122.675464&spn=0.007953,0.021222&z=16&iwloc=addr "Vidoop").

I’m looking forward to seeing you there.
